Abstract
GIS/LiDAR Applications for Railroad/Utility Corridor Development and Third-Party Right-of-Way Mapping
Track: Transportation
Author
This presentation focuses on the use of LiDAR and Orthophotography for initial Right-of-Way(ROW) footprint mapping and the process of utilizing GIS software and functions/applications for locating third-party ROW infringements. Examples from railroad and utility corridors are described. The process begins with discussing/describing LiDAR and its effectiveness for efficient large-scale surveying of topography and other limiting factors to map out an appropriate route/corridor in a given area. A customized GIS network application then makes the corridor dynamic so a user can calculate the stationing distance and milepost for any given point on the line. An organized routine of dealing with state one-call systems is discussed along with how their information is applied to the corridor and the ArcObjects application created solely for this process. Data from landmen is converted to polygon features to display land ownership along the corridor. The end result is a corridor and centralized data-depot of ROW crossings.
